[0052]A) Pharmacological Example
[0053]In the rat model system, animals pretreated with streptozotocin (STZ) were treated with water having various deuterium concentrations for 4 weeks in several independent experiments. The rats had daily two insulin treatments with 1 IU, the control group consumed normal water (150 ppm) while the treated groups consumed DDW of 25, 70, 105, 125, 130, 135, 140 and 145 ppm D level. To find out what mechanism is responsible for the lower blood sugar levels found in the rats drinking DDW, the amount of GLUT4 protein in the rats' muscle cell membrane was determined The rightmost two empty bars in FIG. 1 show that in rats not pretreated with STZ the amount of GLUT4 was not influenced by the D concentration (25-150 ppm) of the water they consumed. The five dark bars on the left side of the figure show that, among the STZ-pretreated rats, the lowest GLU...
